International Accounting Standards (IAS) For Practitioners
Objectives
As the project for aligning UK GAAP with International GAAP has developed, some firms are seeing that a few of their clients have a need to produce accounts using IAS and IFRS.
For a whole host of other reasons, general practitioners may need an understanding, rather than detailed knowledge of IAS’s. For example, some sole traders and partnerships may choose to use IAS to postpone profit recognition.
